Hey guys! Thank you very much for all the information you provided here, I have carefully read through all the replies and read the word doc as well. I still have one question and would very much appreciate some advice! I am putting together an application for a Family Class Sponsorship. I have pretty much taken care of everything like medical exam, police certificates, pics, statements etc. I am down to the medical insurance bit! The province I am residing in is British Columbia, I understand that I would be able to apply for a medical plan as soon as I send in my application. But CIC also requires that I have Medical Insurance....so I am looking at private medical insurance providers. Now, I have so many options, so here's my two questions:
1. Is there a minimum coverage that I need to pay for? I found a very affordable option with Covermedotcom but it only covers up to 15.000 dollars. Now for me that's fine, I have no preexisting condition and am as healthy as can be. I know I will not be using it. Is it enough for CIC?
2. Is there a time limit? I was thinking of getting a 3 months coverage and then hopefully apply for the BC health plan. Is this ok with CIC?
If anybody has more of an insight on this matter please share your thoughts. CIC only says a few words about the medical insurance which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Help! Thank you very much!
